PacBio announced PanDNA, a versatile Nanobind DNA extraction kit. This new offering expands the array of sample types suitable for long-read sequencing, including cells, bacteria, blood, tissue, plant nuclei, and insects. Nanobind kits are designed for researchers to efficiently extract high-quality, high molecular weight DNA across a wide range of sample types.

These kits are versatile, accommodating both manual (Nanobind PanDNA kit) and high-throughput (Nanobind CBB HT kit) settings. Their simple, rapid protocol is compatible with platforms from PacBio's Compatible automation providers. In addition, based on customer feedback, the existing high-throughput extraction Nanobind HT CBB kit will now support two new sample types - animal blood and bacteria - and can accommodate 96 samples per run.
